This is a photograph of renowned Egyptian novelist,Naguib Mahfouz. I find his writing to be exceptionally beautiful. It is poignant and well worth reading.

I put The Claws That Catch by Travis S. Taylor and John Ringo on hold at my local library.

I took a short walk up to my local library. It takes me about fifteen minutes walking uphill to get there. My doctor has asked me to do some mildly aerobic exercise two to three times a week, so I kind of count this as such. This is in addition to the 25 minutes of floor exercises I do each night from Yoga RX. I picked up a copy of How To Disagree Without Being Disagreeable by Suzette Haden Elgin, Ph.D.. She is the author of The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense. Hopefully this will be of some use.

I am on a routing list at work for magazines. Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, New York Times Book Review, Publishers Weekly, and Searcher are routed to me every single month. On occassion, I will also read The New York Review of Books because of the quality reviews it gives.

I think in some ways, blogs are replacing many magazines. I still like the feel of paper. I don't like tearing up or marking magazines that much. Although, occassionally, I will mark a review which I like a lot.

I prefer paper books also, you can read a paper book 3 times faster than electronic, and it just has a smoother flow to it, and there's no worry, that you will loose the book or story, whereas news, I too read that mostly on the net, but those are shorter articles

It is a lot harder to read books on a computer. This may change if they start selling better quality lcd screens at cheaper prices for computers. I imagine this will happen in the next couple of years. The resolution will improve considerably.
